Verse 24. If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. Saint John Baptist had told them several times who Jesus was. See Jo. chapter 1. He himself had not only owned it in plain terms to the Samaritan woman, (John 4:26) but he had frequently delivered this truth so openly to them, that he came from heaven, that he was sent into the world that all men should be saved by believing in him, that he was the Son of God, and one with the Father, that they easily perceived he made himself God: but these men would have him to declare it again, that they might accuse him. Witham.
